RUFUS A. PARENT, OF SOUTH TACOMA, WASHINGTON.

JAR-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 3, 191W.

Application filed. September 29, 1916. Serial No. 122,885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUFUS A. PARENT, a citizen of the United States,residing at South Tacoma, in the county of Pierce and State ofl/Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Jar- Holder, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a jar holder and has for its principal objectthe production of a jar holder which is adapted to be formed by havingtwo U-shaped frames pivot-ally held together.

Another object of this invention is in the production of a jar lifterwhich is provided with yieldable means upon its lower end for securelyholding a jar therebetween.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certainnovel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device showing the same attached toa jar.

Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the device.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view showing how the two sections are pivotallyheld together.

Fig. 4 is a section taken through the lower portion of one of theU-shaped frames, showing how the yieldable strip is held thereon.

By referring to the drawings by numerals, it will be seen that 1designates the jar which is adapted to be held between the yieldablestrips 2 which yieldable strips are carried upon the U-shaped frames 3and 4. These U-shaped frames are provided upon their lower ends with thehook portions 5 which are adapted to receive the yieldable strips 2 asis clearly shown in Fig. 2.

Copies of-this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressingthe The U-shaped frames are adapted to be pivoted together so that theoperator of the device may grasp the two frames at their top portions,thereby securely holding the jar 1 within the yieldable strips 2 as isclearly shown in Fig. 1. This U-shaped frame 3 is provided with an axialportion 6 which is shaped to go through the eyeloop 7, thereby allowingthe U-shaped frame 3 to pivot upon the frame f as is clearly shown inFig. 3. By referring to Fig. l of the drawings, it will be seen that theyieldable means is a continuous piece which is adapted to sit within thehook portions 5 thereby securely holding the same from accidentaldisplacement.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a device has beenproduced whereby a jar of any shape or size may be easily andconveniently held between the yieldable strips 2. It will also be seenthat a device has been produced which may be formed from two strands ofwire being bent in U-shape one of said wires being provided witheye-loops and the other with axles as above described, whereby the twoframes will pivot upon each other.

What is claimed is:

In a device of the class described, the combination of a primaryU-shaped section with a secondary U-shaped section, said sectionsadapted to be formed from single strands of wire, said primary sectionbeing bent so as to form eye-loops, said secondary frame being bent soas to form axles adapted to pivot within said eye-loops, said sectionsbeing bent so as to provide hooks upon their end portions and stretchingand yieldable jar engaging means provided upon said hooks, wherebydiii'erently shaped and sized jars may be held.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiix my signature. I
